We have another wonderful travel story entry from Elizabeth Moore, who was our March winner with Le Petit Train Jaune. Get transported to Hawaii with her latest entry From the Lanai.

Elizabeth has lived in Australia all her life. She is happily married, a mother of two, grandmother of four and devoted assistant to one very bossy tortoiseshell cat named Lucy.

Her working career began as a speech pathologist and later morphed into the totally unrelated field of retail manager in a university science centre and planetarium.

Travel has always been a focus and yes – there has always been a bucket list. This was brought into stark relief when she was diagnosed with breast cancer and following treatment, a travel timetable began to take shape. Guam was first, followed quickly by European and North American adventures.

Illness nudged another longheld interest to the fore and Elizabeth began chronicling her trips with extensive photography, promising herself she would also write about her exploits. This story From the Lanai continues her efforts to share her adventures.​
